    Hate that, always the way. I leave a pair of leggings down over the wellies, but smell of silage still seeps into your clothes. The wife has a nose that can sniff out silage a mile away!!

    The cow who decides to sh1t or skid to drive sh1t flying doesn't even have to be in the same f**king shed as you if you don't go back for the overalls.

    I don't recommend power washing a combine to anyone. 3 hours later looked a little better and I had enough

    Just on the way out now for a weigh in, reach measurement and height measurement for a white collar boxing fundraiser in February. Hearing the rocky music already. I'll probably get the beating like rocky but without the comeback as I have never threw a punch in anger.

    Any one see the news?
    Disgraceful report on Sfp and Reps payments. Started very accurately but then showed a clip of bags of €50 on a pallet.
    Finished with a pic if Santa and the line that the Dept is an agent of Santa's and the farmers have been good.

    Lazy at best and we pay a licence for this kind of inaccurate reporting

    I am furious and have boxing gloves but won't bother going over there.

    I bought 1kg mince today for €3.50, by jaysus I would love to know what the urbanites would have to say if their food wasn't subsidised by the Sfp

    Way to go RTE, then they wonder why people don't want to pay the licence fee :mad: Santa will be calling to RTE all year round with compulsory broadcasting charge, why don't they do a report on that :)

    Different sort of fitness my man. And you can get fatigued easily from allot of nerves b4 u even step foot in the ring.
    But ye'll all b in da same boat.
    U shud have a good reach so learn to jab and get a decent 1,2 going and you'll be fine. Best of luck.

    Was at a sheep meeting last week where they put up the result of the Teagasc profit monitors 2012 average net profit
    .
    Suckler to beef...€60/ha
    Suckler to weanling....-€60/ha
    Ewes........€22/ewe
    Dairy.......€1200/cow
    Don't think you need anymore information than that if your're making plans
